HUALIEN, Taiwan: Nine people were freed from a winding cave in Taiwan's mountainous east, while two others were located but feared dead, as rescuers pressed on with their search Friday (April 5) for those still missing after the island's biggest earthquake in 25 years.
The official death toll from Wednesday's magnitude-7.4 quake still stood at 10, but the government in Hualien county, the hardest-hit area, said two more people on a hiking trail were found with "no signs of life", though their deaths could not be immediately verified.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
